25.01.2022 When it comes to travel experiences and local children, knowing whats best for their wellbeing can be tricky. But heres an easy rule to follow: if you couldnt do it at home, dont do it anywhere. One example of this is visiting local schools. Sure, the kids might genuinely be excited to see you, but youre allowing your travel plans to interrupt their education. And no matter your intentions, thats never okay. Truth is, many travel experiences involving children only exi...st because they make money, not because theyre good for the kids. But if we all avoid these types of experiences, theyll stop being offered. So, just steer clear! And if you do want to support the kids in some way, donating to a reputable local charity is often your best bet. Travel can change the world. But first we need to change travel.

24.01.2022 Reflect. Rethink. Relearn. Retravel. Get ready to join an important conversation about travel. #Retravel

24.01.2022 The word might be made up, but what it stands for is oh so real: making a powerful, lasting difference. At its core, Retravel means to reflect, rethink, and relearn how our travel choices impact the world, so we all can make more informed decisions and spread the most good. #Retravel

24.01.2022 Seeing our worlds incredible wildlife is one of the best reasons to travel. Sadly, many animals involved in tourism are treated poorly and trained cruelly. Elephants are no exception. Across Asia, there are over 3,800 captive elephants in 357 elephant tourism venues. In many of those cases, the elephants are beaten until they learn to be posed with, ridden on, or used as performers, all for the entertainment of tourists. Per year, up to $770 million (USD) of sales are genera...ted, often literally, on the back of elephant suffering. But therein lies the solution. If we dont support these practices with our money, its no longer profitable for them to continue. Every dollar we spend casts a vote that shapes our world. And in this never-ending election, the Animal Party needs all the support it can get. Travel can change the world. But first we need to change travel.

23.01.2022 An important update for our travellers. With the exception of a small selection of tours in Europe in September and October, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to further suspend all of our tours through October 31, 2020, as well as our G Expedition trips due to depart in November & December. Your safety and security, along with that of our staff and partners, continues to be our top priority. We know that having a trip of a lifetime to look forward to is imp...ortant in helping get through this tough time. So you can simply rebook your tour for a future date or book a different tour instead - whatever you prefer. You also have the added protection of our Book with Confidence policy, which lets you cancel and rebook your tour closer to the time of departure, giving you flexibility and peace of mind. Learn more here: https://gadvnt.rs/2CWb4f2. All travellers booked and fully paid on a tour departing prior to October 31, 2020, will receive a 110% travel credit on all booked tour services, including pre- and post-night accommodation and transfers, to be used on any tour departing within the next 2 years. Travellers who havent yet made their final payment will have their Lifetime Deposit kept on file to put towards any tour they choose to take with us in the future - and dont worry, it will never expire. We understand some of you may feel uncertain about travelling in the upcoming months, so we are offering travellers booked and fully paid on tours departing up to December 31, 2020, the option to transfer their booking to a future departure date for the same price. Rest assured that we are more committed than ever to making your safety a priority. Our Travel with Confidence policy features new health and safety procedures on all of our tours, and our recently introduced Book Your Bubble Collection provides travellers with the option to travel confidently with their own handpicked crew while enjoying added benefits and discounts! Please contact our Reservations team below regarding your booking or visit the FAQ here: https://gadvnt.rs/3dz5lYJ.

21.01.2022 Happy World Elephant Day! We believe elephants have the right to a wild life, so none of our tours visit elephants in captivity. Thats why were thrilled to support the World Animal Protection mission for an elephant-friendly future in the travel industry by committing to continue not to sell or promote attractions that offer elephant entertainment, such as rides or shows. Learn more: https://gadvnt.rs/3ixWTvT But protecting animals isnt just a one-day initiative for us,... its an everyday commitment. To allow our travellers to enjoy the incredible wildlife that we share our world with and protect these animals - including elephants - we worked with the Jane Goodall Institute, the World Cetacean Alliance and World Animal Protection to create our Animal Welfare Policy to ensure all activities we offer involving animals never exploit wildlife.

16.01.2022 Worldwide, over 600,000 wild animals live in captivity, even though many arent endangered or in need of protection. Even worse: only a small percentage of places where these wild animals are being held have actually been accredited and verified. One animal that all too often suffers this fate: orcas. Theyre caught in the wild, placed into tiny tanks, then gawked at by tourists for the rest of their lives. Its cruel, but its also preventable. If we choose to only support travel activities that dont interfere with an animals wild, natural life, these glorified prisons will be forced to change their ways. Travel can change the world.

11.01.2022 Travel has the power to be the greatest form of wealth distribution the world has ever seen. But sometimes it can hurt more than it can help. In fact, when it comes to many forms of travel, as little as $5 of every $100 a traveller spends in a destination actually stays in the community This is called leakage, and it leaves many local communities without the means they need in order to thrive. One main culprit is all-inclusive resorts. Most are owned by foreign companies, w...hich means most of the money they make flows right out of the country. So, what can we all do to help stop this from happening? For starters, ask questions. To tour operators. Travel agencies. Even the resorts themselves. Who owns the property? Where is the management from? Where does the food come from? How does this property benefit the local community? The more you know, the more informed your travel decisions can be, holding us all more accountable. Because some resorts do get it right its just a matter of knowing which ones.

11.01.2022 Basking in our worlds natural beauty is one of the main reasons we all love to travel. But our ever-growing global plastic problem is making that less and less possible. Each year, over 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced, of which only 5% actually gets recycled. What happens to the rest? Sadly, much of it ends up in our oceans. This is becoming a serious problem for places like the Maldives, whose famous geography is made up of 99% water (thats a real stat). Every da...y, over 280,000 plastic bottles are discarded in the countrys capital, Mal, by both residents and tourists. While weve seen an increase in the use of single-use plastic containers, shampoo, soap, forks, knives and cellophane wrap as health authorities around the world work to contain the spread of COVID-19 by limiting touch points, as travellers, we can still do our part to help alleviate this problem. An easy but effective first step? Packing your own reusable bottle when you travel. Travel can change the world. But first we need to change travel.
